Back2Basic Beetroot cake

Beets again?? yes!!

can’t get enough of them…and they are soooo good for us! This time with a little crunchy cacao upgrade! This time I gave the mass the shape of a cake, instead of forming little balls, before putting it in the fridge I mixed 3 teaspoons of raw cacao with 3 tsp of coconut oil, stired this well till completely smooth and then I poored it over the cake. Coconutoil gets hard really fast when set on the fridge, you might want to give it a second layer to make the cake fancier or decorate with shredded coconut as I did on the picture. Enjoy!

Beetroots, for me, are playing in the same league as avocados and bananas – perfect by nature and actuall not in need for any further processing before being eaten. I love my beets fine grated, that’s it, maybe a drop of extra vergine olive oil and a bit of gomasio…

I realize though when I start talking about my love for beetroots to friends and interested listeners they start to shake heads or make funny faces. Many people are scared of beetroots

….childhood memories – is what the common excuse, which I understand. When cooked they loose their crunch and their fresh juice, beets are naturally sweet but mostly eaten on the side of maindishes, weird comination…
